I go to an independent school which gets excellent academic results, a lot of people do get 10A*. I'm not sure what you mean by pressure though, are you talking about teachers making pupils work hard or do you mean an attitude like "you've got to get 10A*s or you're a failure"?

i dont think so, just like i disagree with extra time and laptops. 1 in 3 people in my history set (thats 5) have got a laptop and i know how most of them fiddled it and i reckon i could get one.

I know... hehehe I have ulteria (sp) motives, not really, I was at some poetry reading thing today and loadsa boys from Harrow were there, just thought I'd find out what it was cos they were way different to the kids I go to school with...
